Across 2 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $54.6K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments.

AJANTA PHARMA LIMITED with 4 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages.
